13th Warrier: Lo, there do I see my father

I watched this entire movie last night just for that scene. You have to watch the full scene from Ahmed starting to pray until the chant to really get the feeling of the scene.



quote:

Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well.


quote:

Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother.
And my sisters and my brothers
Lo, there do I see the line of my people
Back to the beginning.
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live forever.




Street Fighter: It was...Tuesday

This has become somewhat of an internet meme over the years but it still stands up. shite movie for sure, but this is probably the best performance of any actor in any scene that will be discussed in this thread. Raul Julia BRINGS it.



Other popular scenes I saw after looking online are Duel of the Fates from Phantom Menace and the opening to the Batman-Superman movie (which I still have yet to see).

Batman v Superman is a bad film, IMO, but it has some great set pieces. The warehouse scene, the batmobile scene, Affleck arriving to the Superman/Zod fight. All good stuff.

Assassins creed was bad but had 3-4 really good scenes. The score was terrific.

I concur. Crichton spin on Beowulf and I thought it was highly underrated.

The camera work in Highlander is fantastic, but the last fight between McCloud and the Kurgan has a tremendous tracking shot that combines with the score.

Is Epic...

The Last Jedi is one of the worst movies ever, but the visuals when Dr. Ellie Satler went to hyperspace through the mothership were top notch.

Movie is awesome. I watch it for every scene in it. When he learns their language, first scene with the "fire worm," them laughing on the Viking ship riding the waves during the storm.

Movie is awesome.

Yep, and Eaters Of The Dead is a pretty good read.

Love that movie although oddly enough I can see how someone could consider it mediocre I’m just not sure why.

I've always thought To Live and Die in L.A. was a so-so movie overall but the car chase scene is top notch. I could probably make the same post about Bullit too. I don't know if I would call them bad movies but other than the car chase scenes neither blew me away.

Even though it's not considered a "bad-mediocre" movie now, being sandwiched between Wrath of Kahn and Voyage Home made the Search for Spock seem, for a while, like a "bad" movie - definitely was not appreciated for how good it is for a while.

That being said, even when the movie wasn't as liked as it is now, the stealing of the Enterprise is great. Absolute classic. Perfect timing on the musical score as they clear the space doors... chef's kiss.

Fire in the Sky.

The abduction scene is great.

It was not well received when it first came out. It’s much more appreciated now though.
